- A source of data for medical research,
- A source of information for public health officials who oversee the delivery of health planning and marketing,
- A tool with which we can assess and continually work to improve the care we render and the outcomes we achieve.
Understanding what is in your medical record and how your health information is used helps you to ensure its accuracy, to better understand who, what, when, where and why others may access your health information and to make more informed decisions when authorizing disclosures to others.
